I seem to have the same problem that several prople already reported, where going into TV on an MD the mythtv main menu shows up for a few seconds, and then the screen goes black (or grey - see below).

i have noticed that soon as I click the TV button from the LMCE main menu, that about 10 seconds later regaurdless of what I have done, the screen goes black and I have a movable mouse cursor and that is it. If I am quick enough I can see a bit of live TV before the screen goes blank. (So the TV streaming works). (If I hit 'f7' during the blank screen I canusually get back to the LMCE main desktop)

Just wanted to add myself to the list of people having this problem. Everything else is working just fine, I can play back video, etc., but when I launch live TV I just get a black screen. My mouse pointer is the only visible thing.

I booted my M10000 into MiniMyth (an optimized MythTV frontend) and connected it to the LinuxMCE backend - and it's working and watching TV with no problems. So the problem is somewhere in the MD... FWIW.

I'm able to watch live TV briefly (until the screen turns grey). I mentioned this issue over at the Pluto Home forum and got the following response:

Quote:"we encounter mythtv connecting errors sometimes in Pluto too, this is an old story that we didn't fix yet.the only way to work around the issue is to reboot the whole system.the issue, as far as I can understand (i'm not a programmer) i that a recording starts at some point and this is disabling the access to backend.we currently don't have a dedicated mythtv guy to fix these issues, so i can't promise that this will be fixed soon.

we had fixed issues in the past with users help (programmers or not). so if you have succeed fixing the issue, just point it to us and we will submit it to distro."
